The idea for DORZ was born in 2018 when my family moved into a fresh new building and we were on a mission to meet our neighbors. But let’s be honest—who’s brave enough to just knock on random doors? We gave the kids’ playground a shot, but let’s just say it was awkward.

Fast forward a few days: we were all settled in, kids got hungry and demanded food. With zero gas connection to make anything in the kitchen, I figured I’d order some chicken from the restaurant right downstairs. But surprise! The delivery app told me I’d be waiting 40-50 minutes for my food to come from a shopping center miles away. I mean, really—why? That’s when the lightbulb went off! We totally needed an app to connect residents and businesses, saving us time and money while making life a whole lot easier.

Plus, wouldn’t it be great if our building management could send all the news and updates in one spot? I was tired of juggling emails, community apps, and forgetting to check the announcement board in the lobby.

Enter DORZ, your new best buddy! Just the best community app in Dubai. We provide a clean, ad-free zone for residents to chat, share, and discover local businesses — from ordering your fave takeout to booking dance lessons next door!

As a resident, you can:

• Grab a coffee or take a stroll with your neighbors;
• Sell your stuff without paying out any fees to us;
• List your car or even your property for sale or rent. Again, for free;
• Tutors can let folks know they’re offering lessons;
• Need a personal trainer? Just ask your community, and you’ll find one in a snap;
• Set up a carpool;
• Seek recommendations if you’re new in town;
• And yes, call emergency numbers directly from DORZ—because let’s face it, who remembers the emergency number for a gas leak?

DORZ is all about bringing people together and keeping us connected in the bustling city of Dubai. We’re harnessing the power of community to make life a breeze for everyone.

So, come on board with DORZ, start chatting, invite your friends and neighbors, and unlock the best your community has to offer!
